Asexual reproduction by softwood cuttings was first conducted in 2005 in Nuaillé, France.

All plants were grown from rooted cuttings planted into 4.4 litre containers in April 2011 and then transplanted into 13 litre containers in August 2011. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on May 25, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
